古埃及十大发现

古埃及十大发现
作为四大文明古国之一，古埃及的种种发明和奇观总是历史课上的常客，同时也对它们进行过几次的专题研究。但当新奇的发现被提及上十遍以后也会略显无趣，不过此片却以独特的手法重新引起了我对埃及文明的兴趣。

在看这个纪录片前对其内容其实有一定的预测，估摸着又会是新瓶旧酒，老调重弹。然而，这部记录片却选了一些较为新奇的切入点，不再过多提及那些人所共知的发现对于一些对埃及文明没有了解的人来说可能略显乏味同时让一些希望了解埃及最出名的发现：帝王谷，狮身人面像，图坦卡门诅咒的一系列发现的人失望而回。然而，因为对埃及文明有一定的了解，纪录片中对埃及文明并非最核心但却十分重要的细节做的补充说明，却让我看的津津有味。

对我个人而言，影片中除去第一部分以描述胡夫法老之船和方尖碑的制作以外，有两个部分让我不禁眼前一亮，一个是关于金字塔工人的日常生活以及后续提及到赛提一世法老之墓，艾赫米姆和阿布辛伯神庙所带出的具有埃及特色的皇权神化现象。

相信不少人心目中提起埃及金字塔的建造，脑海中或多或少会浮现出一下的画面：一个高高在上的监工手拿鞭子，鹰视狼顾地看着底下一群奴隶或工人推着一块块的大石头在走，有谁偷懒就挥鞭相向。而本片却利用科学的验证为各位观众扫盲，同时为埃及的统治者除去黄世仁的和坏名声。建造金字塔的工人，获得很好的照顾，有完善的医疗制度以及福利措施，这并不如秦朝末年修建万里长城的暴政，反倒为许多人提供工作机会，难怪埃及金字塔众多却并没有加速其灭亡，反而造就了一个奇特的景观。

再者因为是BBC的大制作，含金量还是蛮高的，可以请来札希•哈瓦斯博士作导游同时利用其当时时任埃及文物局橘子的职位便利让观者有幸看到了赛提一世法老之墓，作为其中一个保存的最完好的法老之墓，当中栩栩如生的壁画向我们揭示了埃及人对皇权神化的认知，法老在死后将回归天上与神结合一体 永生不死，一方面揭示埃及人对生死的概念，另一方面也凸显了当时法老通过宗教集中权利，巩固自身王权的手法，向观众解释了埃及特色的政教合一的统治方式。同时在这部分我们也可以看到纪录片比别的二手资料更有说服力的地方，正所谓耳听为虚眼见为实，文字资料永远无法让我们体验到埃及文明中的气派与辉煌，如果无法亲身到访，记录片就是最好的第二选择。

总括而言，本片并不是那种一般性的速成百科 更像一本导赏手册，旨在引起观众对埃及文明的兴趣。如果要求导演在87分钟内向观众巨细无遗的介绍埃及文明无疑是强人所难，如果对埃及墓葬或札希•哈瓦斯博士那有着异域风情的口音有兴趣的同学也可以去看一下另一部纪录片Egypt's New Tomb Revealed，相信不会让你失望而回，而那些对影片中关于图坦卡蒙宝藏解释意犹未尽的同学，我向你们诚挚推荐一部同样是大制作的纪录片，国家地理出品，品质保证——Burying King TUT，定当可以为你解惑。

以上均属个人浅见，希望各位雅正。

一想到古代埃及脑海里只有金字塔、罗塞塔碑、图坦卡蒙墓，直到看了这部纪录片，才知道埃及还有工人墓，有僧侣将珍贵的木乃伊运输到深谷中防止盗墓贼偷盗这样精心动魄的故事，原来修建木乃伊的工人受人尊敬还有福利津贴。馆长说世界上唯一一个人能打开精美埃及坟墓时的那种骄傲之情。画质很好，大大拓展了我的视野。可惜埃及文明中断，并没有像中国文化那样延续千年而不衰。不禁令人唏嘘！

埃及高级考古专家Zahi Hawass和他的探索小队挑选出了在埃及所有发现中10种最重要的.在前期对这些巨大建筑的考察中,这些发现揭秘了埃及法老王,埃及艳后以及普通侍从的惊人逸事,踏上这趟绝妙旅程,一起到尼罗河去探寻,追溯埃及许许多多遗失已久的未知谜团.

After watching the documentary, I have to say, this documentary is great. As a fan of archaeology, I have watched many Documentaries, and some books about the ancient Egypt. What disappointed me was that all of them have the problems of unilateral or too simple, and some even overstate the mystical part that far away from the truth. This documentary not only avoid these problems, but has the right mix of the rigorous academicand simple words which make this documentary is easy to be understood.
At the same time, the logic of this documentary is also clear and logical. All the ten discoveries have connection with each other, and the transitionis natural. In addition, the screen is very beautiful too. All of these factories make this documentary great.
  The documentary introduces ten greatest discoveries of ancient Egypt, from theses ten discoveries, a relative authentic ancient Egypt is shown in front of us, and change our minds. Normally, for most of us,the ancient Egypt is equal to mummy, pharaoh, pyramid, and that’s almost all. We think the little part we know is almost all, but the real ancient Egypt is much better than our thoughts.
  All of we modern people believe that the ancient means ignorance and drop behind. How can we imagine that several thousands years ago, ancient Egyptians were already knew to use the nature cracks to mine huge stones, and to use the flame to cut the stone faster. Although they had no equipment but human labor, they still made the amazing sculptures, obelisks and buildings that surprise the people after several thousands years. Of course, what amazing is not only the art work they made, but also their serious attitude and pure relief. The unfinished obelisk is the best example, it is so huge that over 1000 tons, and we can see it already has the shape of a obelisk, but just as a crack, the whole obelisk was abandoned. It seemed stupid foe me, a modern people, but not for them. Ancient Egyptians had very strong relief, that they could not stand even a little mistake on their religion objects, and that is what we modern people lack, a serious attitude to work, a pure and strong relief to life.
  If I have no watched this documentary, I would never imagine that the pyramids were made by workers, and there had complex social stratum ,what’s impressed me more is that hey even had benefits for worker. Truth is louder than words, ancient Egypt is more development than what I thought before. According to the documentary, there are still so many sites buried under the city in mid-part of Egypt, which means the real ancient Egypt might be more development and lager than what the academic circle know now. Unfortunately, due to the city above the buried sites, some excellent buildings like the lost temple of Akhmim will not be dig out soon.
 Young Tutankhamun is my favorite pharaoh. He is really famous all around the world from the day he was found, so I knew him when I was in primary school. The murder theory, and his “death curse” really attracted me at that time, and the cute face on his golden mask made me interested in him. In my imagination, should be a handsome king, but the fact is that he had obvious buck teeth! And his face is not like his golden mask at all. In addition, according to the documentary, Tutankhamun was not dead by murdering. As to the death curse, it is not be mentioned, so I don’t know it’s truth or not. Although I don’t want to admit, the fact is that most of my information about Tutankhamun were wrong.
  Ancient Egyptians had very strong relief, so did pharaoh. Pharaohs regarded them as the son of the god. When they died, they and their people thought they should be the gods to protect the world, so, many pharaohs’ tombs have the draws of their after life. Such as pharaoh Seti. His tomb is just like a magic spell, all the draws tell him how to resurrection and be the god. The tomb is just like a resurrection, all the draws have function and aim, just like computerprogramming. Ramses II is a different pharaoh with the other pharaohs. He had two roles at first, one is the protector of country, and the other one is the king of the god and human. After Ramses II defeated his enemies, he declared himself as a god. He also construct a temple of himself which is known as the great temple at Abu Simbel.
  Ancient Egypt had prosper period, but also had decline period. Over the centuries, Egypt was invaded by so many empires, but the Egypt civilization was still lasting at that hard time. In addition, Egypt civilization changed the intruder’s civilization. The valley of golden mummies of Roman is a supporting evidence.
  Egypt civilization was one of the most successful civilizations of the world, although the glorious old days were gone, but the civilization still last. Egypt civilization-- the mother of other civilization, has been influenced world, and the great ancient Egypt civilization will take new surprises to the world.

非常惊讶，大家对这部记录片打分那么低。在我看来，它在短短一个半小时里，跟普通大众分享最新的考古发现， 不但内容丰满有时效性，而且画质相当精美。虽然埃及是我们比较熟悉的古文明，但是中学时期的历史也只涉及金字塔和历法，对于方尖碑、帝王陵墓、胡夫古船、塞迪陵墓壁画也知之不多。这部片子的优点就是每个主题不到10分钟，简明扼要，非常适合想要对古埃及有所了解又没有方向感的朋友，就像一道开胃拼盘，要是你觉得哪个冷菜意犹未尽，就一定要点一道单独的，以飨味蕾。英语发音标准动听，好上加好！

    Ancient Egypt is one of the four great ancient civilizations in the world, the world 200 years some of the greatest discovery from egypt. The editor included in this ancient Egyptian archaeologists found ten large video senior high school entrance examination will help to scientific analysis, take us from these findings to unravel the secrets.

    History of the Nile, in the residual Hui sunset, like a figure of the enchanting golden snake. She is only a river, but can give the people of ancient Egypt have rich resources and deep love of wealth!
    Egyptian civilization is lucky, it is in the 6000-5000 years ago this stage, rely on the Nile nourish created the fertile Nile delta. Agriculture is the foundation of social economy in the main, the ancient Egyptians with primitive tools simple engaged in farming, and then evolved into primitive tribes, and gradually promote the development of primitive society, the ancient Egyptian civilization rich food make a step forward.
    Pyramid is representative of the ancient Egyptian civilization, is the national symbol of egypt. Pyramid is the tomb of the Pharaoh, the base is four square, more and more narrow, the tower end become spire, Chinese characters like the "gold" word, it Chinese translated into Pyramid. In European countries, languages, usually referred to as "over Ramis" (such as English is pyramid), it is said that in ancient Egyptian, "as Ramis" is "high". Egypt Pyramid existing seven, block eighty, most people are familiar with is the Nile downstream of the West Bank, Giza in the vicinity of the Pyramid, from here to the Egyptian capital Cairo, only 10 km. One of the biggest pharaoh Khufu of the fourth dynasty (about BC 2590 - 2568 in Pyramid), is the only extant monuments seven wonders of the ancient world.
    Speaking of the ancient Egyptian civilization, but also can not fail to mention the famous "Sphinx" -- Sphinx. BC in 2611, fourth of the Faro Bhave La Dynasty in order to make their appearance "go down to posterity", ordered to carve a statue in his Pyramid side. It is said that a young sculptor, carved into a Sphinx. Khafre very happy, immediately start command. The Colossus is 20 meters high, 57 meters wide, ear is 2 meters long, is used to make Pyramid a huge stone carved. The Sphinx ride West to East, a symbol of the sun god as Pharaoh's awesome. It is a great art has a history of over 4600 years, a long time to be buried in the sand, until the 1926 French archaeologists excavated. When dig out, it's 2 meters long nose is badly damaged, is said to be pick plane off the. But this is unlikely, because it has several times been sand buried, has several times been dug out, the nose is the most prominent parts of the head, is very susceptible to damage.
    The ancient Egyptian astronomy and mathematics also contributed. They created the earliest human history of the solar calendar, the year is 365 days. The Egyptian medical achievements prominent than the mesopotamia. Egyptian mummies produced (after special treatment of dry corpse), as with their Pyramid, be known to all the world. The knowledge of anatomy of the Egyptians mummified growth, so that their internal medicine is developed. Their medicine division of very fine, every doctor cure a disease.
    In a word, in this beautiful, fertile land, in the Nile's feeding, gave birth to the brilliant civilization of ancient Egypt, the cradle of human civilization has become one of the modern.
    According to Ciro Dodd said, to build the Pyramid of Khufu was 30 years, 10 years is built to transport head stone road and the construction of the underground chambers, after 20 years for the construction of Pyramid itself, employing 100000 people every year. In the Khufu Pyramid next, and the dynasty of the Harvard pull (the Greeks called him Qi Fulin) and Menkaure (the Greeks called him Mackay Lin Noons) two kings of Pyramid. There is a Sphinx of the king of Pyramid at Harvard before pulling away (S Finn Kors), 20 meters high, 50 meters long, with a piece of stone, is said to the face by Harvard pull like carved. The ancient Egyptians believed that, the lion is to enter the kingdom of heaven portal guardian. In the Pyramid round, but also all over a lot of the aristocratic Masita Ba, which symbolically reflects the autocratic monarchy of the feudatory Supreme status.
    Egypt's position that Egypt rainy. From ancient Egypt to leave plenty of carving and painting can be seen, the characteristics of ancient Egyptians: tall, black hair, a low forehead, dense eyelash, black eyes, a straight nose, wide face, broad shoulders, black skin, robust physique. Their shape, appearance and the ancient Libya and the Nubian people are different, with different ancient Asia, and has its own unique characteristics.
    After watching the film, I deeply appreciate the great charm of history.World all things are in constant motion, but our understanding of the history and the love will never change!
